Good link mitchell65, saved it to little list of computer links, may come useful in the future; I agree that I don't think the OP has cleaned his/her system, but rather marked the thread as solved in expectation that the overheating is the sole cause of his/her problems and that cleaning the system will be a simple and easy job.

For anyone who has been following this thread here's a table showing cut off temps of a range of CPU's. Just out of interest!
The Heatsink Guide - All about PC cooling
Just click on CPU Temperatures on the nav bar on the left!

I noticed there wasn't that many modern AMD CPUs, the one I have wasn't even listed.

Same, but CoreTemp gives the maximum temperature for the CPU anyway.

True, and I do use Coretemp too.

What I learned from that list was that the better the quality of the CPU the higher temp it can work at. Another feature to take into account when looking at buying a laptop!
